Room 4 Update

Sadly, we are almost at the end of Pre Primary. 5 more weeks and we will all be on Christmas Holidays! This year has gone by so quickly, but I wanted to take the time to say how proud I am of the Room 4 students. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching your children and have loved watching them develop and improve throughout the year. 

We have hit the ground running this term and already so much has happened!

Edudance 


We started our Edudance lessons in Week 2. The children are really enjoying participating each week, learning the new steps for our dance. I know that you will all be very impressed when you watch our concert at the end of the year. I will let you know closer to the time what the children have to wear on the day. 

Swimming Lessons 


Swimming lessons were a huge success. This was the first time for the Pre Primaries and they are to be commended on their behaviour and the way they coped with the changes to our normal class routine. Well done to all the students who passed and for all those that tried their best! I know that the students had a fantastic time and can not wait until next year! 

Student Teacher 


As you have probably noticed, Miss Jovina Vidad has been running the class from Week 4. She will continue to do so until Week 6. Jovina is doing an amazing job with the children. The lessons she has planned have been fun and engaging. She has implemented some new behaviour management strategies and new reward systems for the children, which has motivated them. I know she will continue to do a fantastic job! 





Mini Beasts


This term our theme has been Mini Beasts. Here are some examples of the work we have been doing.










Computers


This term we have been teaching the children how to log on to the school computers, access the internet and type a document using Microsoft Word. The children are doing a great job! Here are some of the worm stories that they wrote and then typed.
